SABRES 0311

Throw some Eichel jerseys on the ice and maybe management will get the idea. Or put some electrical tape over the C on your Eichel jerseys and proudly wear it at home games. Other than not buying tickets the fans have to make statements that get people’s attention.

I said after the Rangers game we should put the abandon all hope quote in the GDT. If anyone still thinks the GDT inspires hope please read above. BTW I agree with the above posters.

When it’s one of many blatant missed calls throughout the league you should. Maybe the game is getting too fast for on ice officials.

Just saw Zuccarello high stick the hell out of Malkin. No call. Seems to me NHL refs are dropping the ball this year.

Any word on criminal charges against those implicated? I would hope so. I’m sure there are a few guys in prison that wouldn’t care if sex offenders were clergy.

Maybe they send a pick and take KO too.

I laughed so hard. Right after this picture was taken Phil and Scandella came in naked to throw hip checks on each other.

Pretty sure Sabrespace is putting a John Wick contract on us if this goes sideways.

Well I’m sold. Make it rain for Skinner and let’s get it on.

I didn’t even think about how we have meaningful games in February. Thanks for getting us started. PA mentioned in the last GDT we should let him do it even if he can’t at the stroke of midnight. I don’t think he’ll mind though. Let’s do this Leeeroooy Jeeeenkiiins!!!

Sabres have quite a few young guys who might follow Jack. If I’m an older guy on the team there is no way. He’s lazy defensively, makes stupid decisions between pass and shoot, and checks out in some instances. At 10mil a year the excuses for his age and time in league should not happen. If the excuses are true then maybe he shouldn’t get 10mil a year. A lot of people look at his stats and say how good they are and what he is on pace for. Some might think Skinner is having a great year because he is on Jack’s wing. I’m starting to think Jack is the beneficiary of a winger who can actually finish and skate. Bogo is who I want as Captain. Dependable but not without his own faults. Willing to drop them when necessary, actually hits, doesn’t mail it in. Has a history of injuries but doesn’t give up. Jack is talented, but he’s a panzy at times.

He’s another one I thought would stay in Buffalo. Although I think I have low expectations. I liked Finley for the two minutes he was here.

Wouldn’t mind a Foligno reunion. I still cannot figure out what happened to Girgensons though. I remember high hopes when he first came in the league. They made a rap video for crying out loud.

Nylander is a roll alright. A roll of chewed cookie dough. Move him so he can go out to pasture like Grigorenko.

It would seem the guys he does approve of aren’t getting the job done. Simple solution is remove Housley and add some masculinity to the team. I know I know, Housley isn’t going anywhere. Just want to publically acknowledge that before five people remind me. Edit: Not a jab at you JJ.

Well we better do something. Who else might be available other than Wilson that can score and actually fills out their cup and jock strap?

Wife just introduced me to Dr. Pimple Popper. I’m gonna be sick.

I’ve said it before and I’m almost certain I will get carpet bombed. Here goes. Target Tom Wilson for acquisition or someone like him. Tough guy who can score and finishes hits (even when he shouldn’t). Put him on the second line with Sam and Mitts. Go after a defensive minded forward who is good enough to play on the third line with ERod and TT so he doesn’t get relegated to the fourth line. Bring up Olofsson. First line and move Pommers to the fourth with Girgs and Larry. This makes Sheary and Sobotka expendable. This is only my quick answer. I have not done any analysis or math or advanced stats or witch craft to determine how to get Wilson or who the other acquisition would be. I have not taken into account locker room presence affect or anything else which may lead to a life altering decision or argument to prove I am wrong and unworthy of posting. I also have not taken into account the sensitivities of other people and their friendships with other posters so if my tone is hurting someone’s feelings it is a casualty of free thought.

Maybe he’s trying to model his game after Ovechkin. Problem is he is not the scorer Ovechkin is.

Yes I too want some players who can occasionally score, finish checks and play hard.

Politics is like hockey. We mostly only get to see the final product. Sometimes we get a behind the scenes view like watching a practice. Sometimes we hear rumors of things and then run wild with them. But what actually happens on the busses, planes and locker rooms we don’t. Do you notice a trend? The government said WMDs were in Iraq and look how that turned out. Then we get told ISIS is the JV team but now they are such a threat, although now smaller in numbers and fire power, that we shouldn’t leave Syria. Now we get told we need a wall by one side and Russia Russia Russia by the other. That’s all in less than the last 20 years.

Lol ok. Keep them and tell me in a year from now. If you are looking for a big name then Sam goes for a center.

Scandella, Sobotka, Okposo, Nylander, Ghule, Beaulieu, Girgensons
